paying ebay fees using debit card and not cc?
 

hello, is it possible to link my debit card to the ebay fee system so that the funds are taken straight from my bank and not through paypal? or do i need an actual cc to do that? would it be troublesome in the future if i can and do do it? thanks guys

you can link cc, debit card or vcc...

a prepaid vcc, stops them taking the kitchen sink in case of dispute or account shutdown.......

DONT DONT DONT give ebay access to a bank account for fees. ebay touches your money too easily then. We have had a few discussions about this subject. LOL. I use vcc to protect myself ;)

I know to my cost, I was changing my vcc due to expiry, and was thinking of using a different card but thought it wasnt that important as I had a good paypal balance that would cover any fees and I could take my time and attached it to my bank in the meantime (correct name so that part was ok), then I had a fees dispute where they made a horrendous mistake and charged about x 10 more than should have. I hurriedly had to unattach bank - I was lucky that time, as it got sorted and I was ahead of them, but if I hadnt noticed they would have withdrawn the fees from my bank...

I wont do that again

thanks for that info.. i have stumbled across this pre paid money card with o2 and was wondering whether you think it is possible to put this on ebay fees.? - Cash Manager - O2 Money - that is the website.. it is free for o2 customers and i am on o2 so i was thinking of getting more sim cards from them and getting an o2 cash manager card for each ebay/paypal account in different identities etc.. do you think this is a good idea and will it work? thanks for your help

Sounds like a good plan.... but you can only have one card registered in your name/address and you have to top up at least £10 every 3 months....

I Recommend Entropay if you want multiple cards.
